Often at the end of the year, we wonder how to celebrate the last day of the year and welcome the next one. For some, New Year's Eve is a long-awaited time, for which preparations begin a month earlier. Of course, there are also those who simply sleep through midnight because it is not an occasion for celebration for them.
Perhaps it will not surprise anyone, but in various surveys, as many as half of Poles say that they spend New Year's Eve at home with their closest friends. Some go to popular outdoor parties. A few percent participate in New Year's balls, and an even smaller number organize New Year's trips. Where? Of course, mountainous scenery is most often chosen, although sometimes tired of autumn dampness and winter frosts, we choose warm countries. Regardless of the destination, everyone tries to find a way to relax and create good memories.
The greatest freedom probably belongs to couples and groups of friends. Without obligations like children or dogs – it's easier to choose the place and way to celebrate New Year's Eve. This is said with a grain of humor, because fortunately hotels design offers so that no one is disadvantaged, even families with children.
Let's go back to New Year's Eve for two – of course, the word that comes to mind and is associated with this period is a romantic New Year's Eve for two! What can you do on this special day? Here are some ideas:
It is undeniable that the most frequent destination for New Year's trips is the mountains. We go not only to the Tatras or the Alps but also venture further, e.g., to Valbona Valley in Albania or even to the slopes of Erciyes in Turkey. If you love mountains in a winter version, such a trip will certainly be for you. Since this is a popular time, you must expect considerable costs. It is also worth having the opportunity to take a longer vacation. 2-3 days is unfortunately too short, and it is better in such a situation to consider a New Year's trip to a hotel with a spa near your place of residence. Such a New Year's Eve idea will bring the most benefits: you won't get tired from traveling, you can use the pool and spa treatments on-site, and above all, have a great time at the New Year's ball.
So where to go? 60 km from Warsaw, in the buffer zone of the Bolimów Landscape Park, is the Santa Natura Resort & SPA. A facility that combines close proximity to nature with luxurious interiors and excellent cuisine. Getting here from Warsaw, Łódź, or another city will not be troublesome. The hotel is located near the A2 highway.
Using the New Year's offer of the Santa Natura Hotel, we have at our disposal cozy accommodations, delicious meals (with slow-style breakfasts), a bonfire, access to the pool and Estonian sauna, as well as an elegant New Year's ball with an open bar and a festive dinner. There will also be entertainment for the youngest – the hotel has also planned a New Year's ball with an animator for them!
If you are a parent and want to experience New Year's Eve with a smile on your face, the children's animation option should be particularly tempting! Children have their own ball and their own tables with snacks tailored for them.
Besides, the resort offers many attractions for them: a cinema room, a vitality pool with a paddling pool, a spa with treatments for children, and a huge space around the hotel for play! The youngest will certainly also delight in the view of horses and a herd of Cameroon goats!
The area is ideal for long walks and frolics in the frost. So if the weather is good, you can build a New Year's snowman or igloo with your family. Older ones have a special attraction: sessions in the Estonian sauna and winter swimming in the natural swimming pool located in the garden.
The idea of spending New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in a hotel in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship can therefore be a perfect choice. And if you choose a longer stay, a good solution would be, for example, a visit to nearby attractions such as Suntago, the Museum in Nieborów, or the Textile Industry Museum in Żyrardów.
There is also quite a large group of people who treat the New Year's Eve and New Year's period simply as a time to regenerate. An ideal idea then would be to hide somewhere in pleasant conditions with a book in hand or to go to SPA. And here Santa Natura works great. A professional team of specialists knows how to relieve tired muscles and take care of making the skin vitalized and firm. During treatments, Yonelle Medesthetic and MedEstelle cosmetics are used, which bring speedy effects of rested, radiant skin and work against aging.
Luxurious treatments such as volcanic remodeling and slimming mud treatments are also very popular among SPA guests. The spa at the Santa Natura hotel also offers cosmetics dedicated to men's care.
Regardless of the New Year's Eve idea you choose – whether it's a home party with friends, a romantic dinner for two, or a trip full of attractions to the mountains or to a hotel with a spa – the most important thing is to spend this time in a way that brings you joy and allows you to start the new year well. After all, New Year's Eve is not only a farewell to the old year but also a symbolic beginning of new adventures and challenges.
